hereto, indicating the relationship between Supplier and any person who is not Supplier’s full-time employee. Without Company’s prior written approval, Supplier shall not use any person to render Services who is not listed on Schedule A and/or who has been employed by Supplier less than six (6) months prior to the start date of such person’s performance under this Agreement. Company shall have the right to approve each such Supplier’s Personnel before assignment to any effort to be undertaken by Supplier, the granting of access to any Company facility and the disclosure of any Company information.

3.3 Supplier will also ensure compliance with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service’s I-9 process.

Some jurisdictions impose restrictions on the collection and use of such information.

whose Personal Data is entered into Company databases receive notice of or consent to such processing of his/her Personal Data, then Supplier: (1) shall provide notice to and obtain consent from such Supplier’s Personnel; and (2) upon Company’s request, shall provide Company with a copy of such notice and consent to Company Representative’s name set forth in Section 21 of the MSA. By way of example only, an Example Personal Data Notice and Consent Form is attached hereto as Schedule D.

4. Compensation and Payment Terms.

4.1 Unless expressly modified in a PO or SOW:

(a) Supplier shall be paid on a time and materials basis according to the Fee Schedule attached hereto as Schedule A or as provided in any applicable PO or SOW with expenses reimbursed in accordance with Company’s travel policies. Supplier shall comply with the guidelines set forth in Schedule E attached hereto; provided, however, that in the event Company determines that additional, or different, guidelines should apply to a specific project for which the Services are being performed, Supplier shall comply with any such project specific guidelines. The foregoing will be the entire compensation to be paid to Supplier and will be in full discharge of any and all liability in contract or otherwise with respect to all Services rendered by the Supplier and Supplier Personnel.

(b) All fees will be paid in U.S. dollars and delivered to Supplier’s principal place of business specified in the first paragraph of this Agreement.

(c) Supplier’s price for the Services includes all sovereign, state and local sales, use, excise, privilege, payroll and/or occupational taxes, any value added tax that is not recoverable by Company and any other taxes, fees, and/or duties applicable to the goods and/or Services purchased under this Order. If Supplier is obligated by law to charge any value added and/or similar tax to Company, Supplier shall ensure that if such value added and/or similar tax is applicable, that it is invoiced to Company in accordance with applicable rules so as to allow Company to reclaim such value added and/or similar tax from the appropriate government authority. Neither party is responsible for taxes on the other party’s income or the income of the other party’s personnel or subcontractors. If Company is required by government regulation to withhold taxes for which Supplier is responsible, Company will deduct such withholding tax from payment to Supplier and provide to Supplier a valid tax receipt in Supplier’s name. If Supplier is exempt from such withholding taxes as a result of a tax treaty or other regime, Supplier shall provide to Company a valid tax treaty residency certificate or other tax exemption certificate at a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to payment being due.

(d) All payments under this Agreement are net due one hundred and twenty (120) days from the Payment Start Date. The Payment Start Date is the later of the required date identified on the applicable PO, the received date of the Services in Company’s receiving system or the date of receipt of valid invoice by Company. The received date of the Services in Company’s receiving system will occur within forty-eight (48) hours of Company receiving confirmation that the Services have been provided in accordance with the applicable PO or SOW. Company shall be entitled to take an early payment discount of 0.0333% of the gross invoice price (“Daily Discount Rate”) for each day before one hundred and twenty (120) days from the Payment Start Date that payment is made. For example, a discount of 3.5% would correspond to payment made one hundred and five (105) days early (i.e., fifteen (15) days after the Payment Start Date) and a discount of 0.333% would correspond to payment made ten (10) days early (i.e., one hundred and ten (110) days after the Payment Start Date). The Daily Discount Rate has been calculated based on a Prime Rate (defined below) of 4.50% (“Base Prime Rate”). If the Prime Rate in effect on the last business day of any month exceeds the Base Prime Rate, the Daily Discount rate will be adjusted on such date by 0.0007% for every twenty-five (25) basis points that the Prime Rate in effect on such date exceeds the Base Prime Rate; provided, however, that if the Prime Rate ever falls below the Base Prime Rate, then the Daily Base Discount Rate will remain 0.0333%. If the Daily Base Discount Rate is adjusted on the last business day of the month as set forth above, then such adjusted Daily Base Discount Rate will be applicable to all invoices posted for payment during the following month. For purposes of this Section, “Prime Rate” shall be the Prime Rate as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal (or, in the event that such rate is not so published, as published in another nationally recognized publication) on the last business day of each month. For example, if the Prime Rate exceeds the Base Prime Rate by 0.25%, on the last day of the month, the Daily Base Discount Rate for the following month will increase by 0.0007%. Thus, a discount of 0.34% would correspond to payment made ten (10) days early (i.e., one hundred and ten (110) days from the Payment Start Date). If the date Company uses to calculate the early payment discount falls on a weekend or a holiday, payment to Supplier will be made on the next business day with the full discount taken as if the payment had been made to Supplier on such weekend or holiday date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order, if Company elects to take the early payment discount to settle an invoice, Supplier acknowledges and confirms that: (1) title to the deliverables, goods and services shall pass directly to Company in accordance with the terms of this Order; (2) once title to the deliverables, goods and

-4-

services has passed to Company, Company shall immediately and directly transfer such title to Company; and (3) any and all of the obligations, including representations and warranties Supplier has provided with respect to the deliverables, goods and services, shall be retained by Company, and Company may rely upon the same. Supplier’s invoice shall in all cases bear Company’s PO number and shall be issued no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after completion of the Services. Company shall be entitled to reject Supplier’s invoice if it fails to include the Company PO number, is issued after the date set forth above or is otherwise inaccurate, and any resulting delay in payment shall be Supplier’s responsibility. Supplier warrants that it is authorized to receive payment in the currency stated in this Agreement or any applicable PO or SOW. No extra charges of any kind will be allowed unless specifically agreed in writing by Company. Supplier warrants the pricing for any deliverables, goods or services shall not exceed the pricing for the same or, comparable deliverables, goods or services offered by Supplier to third parties. Supplier shall promptly inform Company of any lower pricing levels for same or comparable deliverables, goods or services, and the parties shall promptly make the appropriate price adjustment.

[NOTE: INCLUDE PARAGRAPH 4.1.(E) BELOW ONLY IF THE PAY TERMS IN PARAGRAPH 4.1.(D) ARE NET DAYS, NO DISCOUNT. IF TERMS ARE TPS DISCOUNTED TERMS, THE MONTHLY PAY PARAGRAPH DOES NOT APPLY]

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement:

(1) in the event the payment date, as calculated pursuant to subsection (d) above, falls on a day that is within the period from the first day through the 15th day of the month, the payment date shall be the third calendar day of such month; or

(2) in the event the payment date, as calculated pursuant to subsection (d) above, falls on a day that is within the period from the 16th day of the month through the last day of the month, the payment date shall be the third calendar day of the immediately following month.

4.2 Upon termination as provided below, all fees shall be payable on a pro-rated daily basis up to the date of termination and no installments shall be payable thereafter.

4.3 When any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation makes any payment prohibited or improper or requires the payment of a reduced fee, the portion of the fee so affected shall not be paid or if paid shall be refunded to Company.

4.4 Company shall be entitled at all times to set off any amount owing at any time from Supplier to Company or its Affiliates in connection with this or any other agreement between Supplier and Company or its Affiliates.

4.5 During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, Supplier shall, at Company’s request and without any additional charge, provide full and complete access during normal business hours to the offices, books and records of Supplier and its accountants for purposes of auditing any performance (including without limit employee screening and environmental compliance), compensation or reimbursement issue under this Agreement.

5.2 Supplier recognizes and acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of any Proprietary Information and acknowledges the irreparable harm that could result to Company if it is disclosed to a third party or used for unauthorized purposes without Company’s prior written consent. Therefore, Supplier agrees, except as required by law:

(c) to use the same degree of care as with its own confidential information, which shall be at least a reasonable standard of care, to prevent disclosure of the Proprietary Information and/or Notes, except to Supplier’s Personnel to the extent necessary to permit them to perform the Services as set forth in this Agreement.

5.3 Supplier further agrees that prior to disclosing any Proprietary Information to Supplier’s Personnel as set forth above, Supplier will: (a) advise such Supplier’s Personnel of the confidential and proprietary nature of the Proprietary Information and Notes; and (b) require them to sign the Secrecy and Inventions Agreement attached hereto as Schedule B.

5.4 Supplier agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by it or Supplier’s Personnel. Supplier acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity that Company may have, it shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief or specific performance or both.

5.5 Obligations in this Section shall, with respect to each disclosure of Proprietary Information hereunder, continue for three (3) years from the date of each disclosure of Proprietary Information. Nothing herein is intended to limit or abridge the protection of trade secrets under applicable trade secrets law, and trade secrets shall be maintained as such until they fall into the public domain.

5.6 Upon completion or termination of this Agreement or upon request of Company, Supplier shall promptly: (a) return all Proprietary Information disclosed to it; and (b) destroy (with such destruction certified in writing by Supplier) all Notes, without retaining any copy thereof. No such termination of the Agreement or return or destruction of the Proprietary Information and/or Notes will affect the confidentiality obligations of Supplier or Supplier’s Personnel all of which will continue in effect as provided in this Agreement.

5.7 Information Not Covered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Supplier’s obligations with respect to handling, disclosing, reproducing and using such Proprietary Information are not applicable to any portion(s) of the Proprietary Information which: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Supplier or Supplier’s Representatives; (b) was available on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Supplier and Supplier can verify such availability by written documentation; (c) is or becomes available to Supplier on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company when such source is not, to the best of the Supplier’s knowledge, subject to a confidentiality obligation with the Company, or (d) was independently developed by Supplier or Supplier’s Personnel, without reference to the Proprietary Information, and Supplier can verify the development of such information by written documentation.

5.8 Supplier Information. Knowledge or information of any kind disclosed to Company shall be deemed to have been disclosed without financial or other obligation on the part of Company to hold the same in confidence, and Company shall have full right to use and disclose such information without any compensation beyond that specifically provided by this Agreement.

5.9 Publicity. In addition to the other confidentiality obligations under this Agreement, Supplier shall not make any announcement, take or release any photographs (except for its internal operation purposes for performing the Services) or release any information concerning this Agreement or any part thereof or with respect to its business relationship with Company to any member of the public or press, any business entity or official body except as required by applicable law, rule, injunction or administrative order, unless prior written consent is obtained from Company. If Supplier determines it is obligated by law or a governmental authority to make any such announcement or release, Supplier shall promptly notify Company and cooperate with Company to ensure that suitable confidentiality obligations are afforded such information.

5.10 System Monitoring. Supplier agrees that the Company may, at any time, without further consent, access and monitor any usage by Supplier or Supplier’s Personnel of any Company information, systems and resources, including without limitation: computers, computer software, electronic mail, online services, voicemail, facsimile machines, telephones and photocopiers.

5.11 Additional Safeguards and Controls. Supplier agrees that (a) Company’s Proprietary Information, and (b) any “Company Data”, “Company Restricted Data”, “Sensitive Personal Information” or “Controlled Data” (as such terms are defined in Schedule I) will be subject to the organizational, technical, and physical controls and other safeguards set out in Schedule I.

• The worker is serving probation1 for any criminal conviction, whether or not a felony; • The nature of the act is such that it would cause Company to doubt the trustworthiness of the worker;

or • Assigning the worker to GE could cause GE to be put in a significantly increased risk of litigation or

negative publicity. 1.3.6. Supplier may not exclude a candidate solely on the basis of a prior criminal conviction unless the conviction

relates to dishonesty or breach of trust; or a matter that directly relates to the Supplier Personnel’s suitability for assignment to the position for which he or she is intended. Care should be taken to ensure that decisions are in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations regarding hiring practices. Supplier should consult with its local Human Resources and/or Legal Department to ensure compliance with these guidelines and applicable law.

position; and  • Whether the individual is bonded under a federal, state or local bonding program.

Additionally, GE may require further verifications and/or searches as may be deemed necessary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such as, for example, verifying the Supplier Personnel’s highest level of education and conducting a department of motor vehicle search.  

1.5. At the completion of the required background check, the Supplier shall provide an identification number, ideally not a Social Security Number, which uniquely identifies a completed background check for their employees on their access screening completion certification letter that GEH Security can use to audit when required. The GE-preferred vendors

1 Typically, background checks will not give sufficient details to permit a determination of whether an applicant remains on probation. Often, the record will show when probation began. Based on the date probation began, the applicant should be interviewed to determine current status.

GE POWER & WATER INTEGRITY GUIDE FOR SUPPLIERS, CONTRACTORS AND CONSULTANTS

A Message from GE Power & Water The General Electric Company and its GE Power & Water business (“GE”) are committed to unyielding Integrity and high standards of business conduct in everything we do, especially in our dealings with suppliers, contractors and consultants of GE, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively “Suppliers”). For well over a century, GE people have created an asset of incalculable value: the company’s worldwide reputation for integrity and high standards of business conduct. That reputation, built by so many people over so many years, depends on upholding it in each business transaction we make. GE bases its Supplier relationships on lawful, efficient and fair practices, and expects its Suppliers to adhere to applicable legal and regulatory requirements in their business relationships, including those with their employees, their local environments, and GE. The quality of our Supplier relationships often has a direct bearing on the quality of our customer relationships. Likewise, the quality of our Suppliers’ products and services affects the quality of our own products and services. To help GE Suppliers understand both: (1) the GE commitment to unyielding Integrity and (2) and the standards of business conduct that all GE Suppliers must meet, GE has prepared this GE Power & Water Integrity Guide for Suppliers, Contractors and Consultants. Suppliers are expected to collaborate with GE’s employees so that those employees can continue to consistently meet these GE integrity commitments. The Guide is divided into four sections: • GE Code of Conduct • GE Compliance Obligations • Responsibilities of GE Suppliers • How to Raise an Integrity Concern Suppliers should carefully review this Guide, including but not limited to the section entitled “Responsibilities of GE Suppliers.” Suppliers are responsible for ensuring that they and their employees, workers, representatives and subcontractors comply with the standards of conduct required of GE Suppliers. Please contact the GE manager you work with or any GE Compliance Resource if you have any questions about this Guide or the standards of business conduct that all GE Suppliers must meet. Steve Bolze, President & CEO Jeffrey Connelly, Vice President, Global Supply Chain Chain Management GE Code of Conduct GE’s commitment to total, unyielding Integrity is set forth in GE’s compliance handbook, The Spirit & The Letter. The policies set forth in The Spirit & The Letter govern the conduct of all GE employees and are supplemented by compliance procedures and guidelines adopted by GE business components. All GE employees must not only comply with the “letter” of the Company’s compliance policies, but also with their “spirit.” The “spirit” of GE’s Integrity commitment is set forth in the GE Code of Conduct, which each GE employee has made a personal commitment to follow: • Obey the applicable laws and regulations governing our business conduct worldwide. • Be honest, fair and trustworthy in all of your GE activities and relationships. • Avoid all conflicts of interest between work and personal affairs. • Foster an atmosphere in which fair employment practices extend to every member of the diverse GE community. • Strive to create a safe workplace and to protect the environment. • Through leadership at all levels, sustain a culture where ethical conduct is recognized, valued and exemplified by all employees. No matter how high the stakes, no matter how great the challenge, GE will do business only by lawful and ethical means. When working with customers and Suppliers in every aspect of our business, we will not compromise our commitment to integrity. GE Compliance Obligations All GE employees are obligated to comply with the requirements - the “letter” - of GE’s compliance policies set forth in The Spirit & The Letter. These policies implement the GE Code of Conduct and are supplemented by compliance procedures and guidelines adopted by GE business components and/or affiliates. A summary of some of the key compliance obligations of GE employees follows: IMPROPER PAYMENTS • Always adhere to the highest standards of honesty and integrity in all contacts on behalf of GE. Never offer bribes, kickbacks, illegal political contributions or other improper payments to any customer, government official or third party. Follow the laws of the United States and other countries relating to these matters. • Do not give gifts or provide any entertainment to a customer or supplier without prior approval of GE management. Make sure all business entertainment and gifts are lawful and disclosed to the other party’s employer. • Employ only reputable people and firms as GE representatives and understand and obey any requirements governing the use of third party representatives.

Responsibilities of GE Suppliers GE will only do business with Suppliers that comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

This environment requires that GE and its Suppliers continue to be knowledgeable about and compliant with all applicable regulations and committed to regulatory excellence. Suppliers that transact business with GE are also expected to comply with their contractual obligations under any purchase order or agreement with GE and to adhere to the standards of business conduct consistent with GE’s obligations set forth in the “GE Compliance Obligations” section of this Guide and to the standards described in this section of the Guide. A Supplier’s commitment to full compliance with these standards and all applicable laws and regulations is the foundation of a mutually beneficial business relationship with GE. GE expects its Suppliers, and any Supplier’s subcontractors, that support GE’s work with government customers to be truthful and accurate when dealing with government officials and agencies, and adhere strictly to all compliance obligations relating to government contracts that are required to flow down to GE’s suppliers. As stated above, GE requires and expects each GE Supplier to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Unacceptable practices by a GE Supplier include: • Minimum Age. Employing workers younger than sixteen (16) years of age or the applicable required minimum age, whichever is higher. • Forced Labor.

SCHEDULE J

REQUIREMENTS FOR CYBER SECURITY RELATED GOODS OR SERVICES

As a condition to providing Services pursuant to the Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) of which this Schedule forms a part, Supplier and Supplier’s Personnel shall comply with the supplementary terms and conditions set forth in this Schedule, which are based on governmental regulatory requirements. Capitalized terms used in this Schedule without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the MSA.

Toward an understanding of such supplemental terms and conditions the following definitions are provided.

1. Definitions

1.1 Cyber Security. A comprehensive program and method for the protection of digital computer and communication systems and networks, specifically such digital computer and communication systems and networks those having safety-related and important-to-safety functions; security functions; emergency preparedness functions, including offsite communications; and support systems and equipment which, if compromised, would adversely impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions.

1.2 COTS. Commercial off the shelf tools provided by Supplier to Company or Customer as hardware, software or both in any combination; software development services for hire; on-site staff augmentation; or any digital product or service that affects safety-related or important to safety functions.

1.3 Checksum. A value used to ensure data are stored or transmitted without error. It is created by calculating the binary values in a block of data using some algorithm and storing the results with the data. For example, a basic checksum may simply be the number of bytes in a file. However, this type of checksum is not very reliable since two or more bytes could be switched around, causing the data to be different, though the checksum would be the same. Therefore, more advanced checksum algorithms are typically used to verify data. These include cyclic redundancy check (“CRC”) algorithms and cryptographic hash algorithms.

1.4 Compensating controls. A technical, operational, or management cyber security control employed by an organization in lieu of a required or recommended cyber security control that provides an equivalent or better level of protection for a critical asset.

1.5 Critical data. The digital information that is contained within a critical asset and that, if compromised by a malicious attack, could affect the performance of the critical asset. Critical data includes digital information beyond just the process data. The following are examples of critical data: process control data, such as process variables; set point data; tuning data; firmware; application software and operating system software, and all associated files; security software and all associated files; files that contain data, such as data tables, configuration, numbers, logs, and security information; database tables and associated database files; network or transmission protocol data; test equipment files and information that could be connected to the critical asset; macros, formulas, and calculations whose resultant data are used as design input or to directly control plant equipment.

1.6 Critical Digital Assets (“CDA”). Those Digital Assets that are part of or are associated with safety class systems and components, or items relied on for safety, or safety related items.

1.7 Customer. The nuclear utility for which the Services, if any, are performed.

1.8 Digital assets. Computer, including computers integrated in tools and machinery, and network related hardware, firmware, operating systems, or application software.

1.9 Exploit information. Software, data, or a sequence of commands that take advantage of a bug or vulnerability in a software system with may cause unintended or unanticipated behavior.

1.10 Factory acceptance test. A factory acceptance test (FAT) is necessary to verify that all features and functions, including security features, function properly and provide the expected levels of functionality. Factory acceptance testing is a process, not an event, and could, in fact, extend over several weeks or months.

1.11 Hash algorithm. A hash algorithm is a commonly used function for validating data integrity. The algorithm is applied against the source data (typically a file and its content) in order to generate a unique, hash value (often called a checksum). One approach for data-integrity verification is to generate a hash when the content is created or when it is shipped and, later, to generate another hash after the content has been received or after a period of storage. The hash values are compared and, if they match, this indicates that the data is intact and has not been altered.

Page 44: MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT REV - General Electric...Aug 21, 2015  · master services agreement rev.3 ge-hitachi msa template, rev.3 august 21, 2015 [before sending this form to a supplier,

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT REV.3

15

1.12 Operational cyber security controls. Operational cyber security controls are primarily implemented and executed by people (as opposed to systems). Examples of operational controls include cyber security awareness and training and the configuration management cyber security controls.

1.13 Secure development and secure operational environment. Secure development environment is the condition of having appropriate physical, logical, and programmatic controls in place during the digital system’s development phases; i.e., concept, requirements, design, implementation, and testing, to ensure that unwanted, unneeded, and undocumented functionality (such as superfluous code) is not introduced into the Digital Assets of Supplier or its customers. Secure operational environment is the condition of having appropriate physical, logical, and administrative controls in a facility to ensure that the reliable operation of safety systems is not degraded by undesirable behavior of connected systems and events initiated by inadvertent access to the system. Regulatory Guide 1.152 Revision 3, “Criteria for Use of Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” defines the requirements for a secure development and operational environment for nuclear safety systems.

1.14 System or software development life cycle (“SDLC”). Each organization is generally expected to have its own life cycle that is thoughtfully and purposefully created and followed to ensure high quality software development activities. Several standards and methodologies are available as references for use, such as NEI-13-10, “Cyber Security Control Assessments” or EPRI’s Handbook for Verification and Validation of Digital Systems (TR-103291-R1).

1.15 Technical cyber security controls. Cyber security controls (such as, safeguards or countermeasures) for a Critical Digital Asset that are primarily implemented and executed by the Critical Digital Asset through mechanisms contained in the hardware, software, or firmware components of the asset. Examples of technical cyber security controls include session lock and audit storage capacity.

2. Supplier cyber security program requirements

2.1 Supplier must provide evidence that it has a Cyber Security Program that is fully compliant with all applicable regulations including those of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission set out at Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 73.54, and as amplified in Regulatory Guide 5.71, “Cyber Security Programs for Nuclear Facilities.” Such a program must consist of security policies, procedures and controls that were applicable throughout the development and product life cycles of the goods or services provided. Alternatively, if Supplier does not have its own Cyber Security Program, Supplier may

adopt Company’s Cyber Security Program. If Supplier choses to adopt Company’s Cyber Security Program, such adoption will not relieve Supplier of the need to meet the NRC requirements. 2.2 Supplier’s cyber security program must be designed to:

(a) Implement security controls to protect Digital Assets from cyber-attacks;

(b) Apply and maintain defense-in-depth protective strategies to ensure the capability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber-attacks;

(a) Defense-in-depth of digital perimeter defense, examples include physical controls, secure data centers, firewalls, intrusion protection, virus protection, and other secure digital assets. Where applicable, Supplier’s Cyber Security Program should be part of its physical security program including period auditing requirements;

(b) Methods for determining Supplier’s Critical Digital Assets, if applicable, and cyber security controls used in development of the Services; and

(c) Where compensating cyber security controls are currently used, inventory, list of components and systems for which associated cyber security controls are applied.

(d) Supplier’s program for ensuring that sub-tier suppliers are vetted for compliance with Supplier or Company Cyber Security requirements or both.

(e) Supplier’s methods to verify the integrity of software. Methods may include techniques, such as a hash algorithm or checksum, for all delivered binaries that can be validated against a transmittal letter or bill of materials prior to use.

2.4 Shipping and handling procedures must:

(a) Provide direct point to point shipment of products to Company where practical.

(b) Have methods to track the chain of custody of products shipped to Company, e.g., FedEx or UPS special handling that ensures chain of custody.

2.5 Prior to initiation of each the factory acceptance test, the Supplier shall install all operating systems and application patches, service packs, or other updates certified for use with the provided system by the time of test, and documentation of the configuration baseline.

2.6 Supplier’s Cyber Security Program should be fully integrated into the existing Software Development Life Cycle (“SDLC”), engineering design and change process, configuration management, equipment life cycle, and procurement processes. It is critical that there be full traceability with documented evidence that the component or system was developed, installed, tested, and placed into operation in accordance with cyber security and other requirements that were established as part of the overall secure development life cycle.

2.7 Supplier’s Cyber Security Program shall be documented in a cyber security plan or similar document, a copy of which shall be provided to Company upon request.

2.8 For networks and computer systems used to develop digital products for Company, Supplier shall protect the systems and networks from cyber-attacks that would:

(a) Adversely impact the integrity or confidentiality of data, software or both;

(b) Deny access to systems, services, data, individually or in any combination; and

(c) Adversely impact the operation of systems, networks, and associated equipment.

2.9 In order to provide this protection, Supplier shall:
